You got that just exactly right, Coward, with a few larger exceptions.
a) No javascript engine has ever been "incorporated into" DiabloII. Probably never will be.
b) njaguar didn't copy the idea from smoke, and he didn't do it out of "smite" (could you possibly have meant "spite"?). The idea has been around since '98 or before when Jared Armstrong wrote the first console for the game "Sin". For DOS, even. The console has a familiar name if you have looked through .ini files at all: "ParseIt". You can reference that information at http://www.fileaholic.com/idgames/utils/stats/pars eit-b1.txt or just take your pick from the multitude of links by doing a Google search on "parseit Armstrong".
c) d2jsp is by no means a reverse-engineered JED, and njaguar has better means of "exercise". d2jsp is utterly different at the very core of the program. To be certain, DiabloWorld, morg, et. al., would have loved to have njaguar hang around and give them all this glory and thunder. But since he did not have to use the same hacked/phony packets (he uses none), nor be reliant upon programs such as d2HackIt in his scripting, he properly did NOT name his program a JED release, and he SHOULD take the full credit that he deserves. The credit for going this distance is his alone.
And just so that you stay current, Anonymous Coward, Smoke is still posting at DiabloWorld. Check out his comments in morg's DiabloWorld forum, in her piteous attempt to slam njaguar in any manner possible. I won't corrupt this post with a link to that ugliness. In that very post, smoke recognises d2jsp's superiority, and I suspect that this will forever be the thorn in morg's side. Anyhow, If smoke needs additional credit (and it appears that he does not), by all means, let him do the work. Elsewise his programming time was up long ago; his work finished on a console which has hit an obsolescence out of his own complaisance or lack of interest, remaining utterly and fully dependant on d2hackit and/or other people's code.
So please, take smoke's own advice to stop sniping, and just play quietly in your own sandbox. Honestly, the folks at d2jsp won't miss hearing you whine a bit, I promise.
